It\u2019s been said you can\u2019t swing a cat in Alameda without hitting a photographer. As a card-carrying member of PETA I don\u2019t recommend that you test that theory, but the photos in the Frank Bette Center for the Arts<\/a>\u2019 fourth annual Alameda on Camera<\/strong> prove that there is no shortage of local talent.<\/p>\n

The map of Alameda was divided into 48 parts. Each of 48 selected photographers randomly drew a piece of the map, and had 48 hours to photograph within their area. Ninety-two photographers vied for these spots \u2013 a huge jump from previous years \u2013 making this a truly competitive show.<\/p>\n

"Blurring Boundaries" by Lisa Levine and Peter Tonningsen<\/p><\/div>\n

Panel from "Beverly & Joe - An Alameda Love Story" by Mi'Chelle Fredrick<\/p><\/div>\n

This year the event was juried by Alameda Magazine\u2019s art director, Debbi Murzyn, and Senior Account Manager Paul Skrentny. Best\u00a0of Show was awarded to Peter Tonningsen and Lisa Levine. The duo had drawn adjoining sections of the map and decided to collaborate. The result is \u201cBlurring Boundaries,\u201d a pigment print focusing on the naval history of Alameda.<\/p>\n

Alameda is famously photogenic, but every year at least one artist draws a less than inspiring section and manages to stitch that silk purse nonetheless. This year that artist was Mi\u2019Chelle Fredrick. Assigned Alameda Towne Centre (you know, South Shore), she photographed the mural outside Bed, Bath, and Beyond and extrapolated it into \u201cBeverly & Joe \u2013 An Alameda Love Story,\u201d earning her Honorable Mention.<\/p>\n

Others receiving honorable mention or other specialized awards were Virginia Chabre, Susan Lea Hackett, Bonnie Randall Boller, Deborah Griffin, Andrea Dimicelli, Carl Weingarten, John Fitzsimmons, and Susan Tuttle.<\/p>\n
